A good story is being told at Auckland about a native who purchased 'a- 1 thoroughbred recently. When' the horse' 1 wa-s knocked down to him he paid over at once, and then set off for the. office, where -he offered to pay ' ovei\ the amount again. A clerk said, "Oh,' yon have already paid for the horse,"* but the native was not satisfied, and he again tried to make another payment. Asked why he was so anxious to* pay again, he said. "Oh, well. I get to receipt for' t'e £28.. and my, people then think he te better racehorse than if I only gave £14 for him." The second payment was not accepted, but tlie new owner w-is far from satisfied. For Influenza, take Woods' Groat Peppermint Chire. Never fails, la 6d and 2h 6d.* The famous "Roslyn" Writing Pads «-re obtainable from all Stationers and Storekepers, at 6d., and ls. each.*
